Project DOVE

Founded in 2010, Project DOVE (Duke-NUS Overseas Volunteering Expedition) is an annual student-led initiative that aims to provide medical help to underprivileged communities overseas and improve students' clinical skills by training as volunteer doctors. Through serving and building relationships with the local community, students learned the value of public health approaches in creating sustainable change. They also gained clinical experiences through observing various patient diseases.

Project Dove aims to provide medical help to underprivileged communities overseas, and to expose our students to lead and manage effectively in challenging settings thus developing and improving their leadership and clinical skills.

Mt Rinjani Fundraising Climb 2018

The journey to being a good doctor is not an easy one. Like climbing up a mountain, it takes discipline and strength. A group of Duke-NUS Medical School first year MD students, Shaun Tay, Alon Mendez and Rachel Wong are climbing Mt Rinjani to rally support for Student Financial Aid. Many students are beneficiaries of such aid and it has been instrumental in helping them on their journey to becoming doctors. Please support them in their climb and donate to Student Financial Aid at the Duke-NUS donation portal here.
